Growing up in rural Nova Scotia in the 80s & 90s, we used rabbit ears to watch CTV & CBC—our lifeline, especially during elections. Now, the internet is endless noise, and I spend more time fact-checking than reading. Kinda miss the simpler days.

At Carney events, reporters scrum and decide on the question and who will ask. They can ask followup. At Poilievre events, handlers suggest questions, reporter(s)who agree get priority, and Poilievre chooses reporters with no followup.

CBC's Evan Dyer reports on how Pierre Poilievre is treating #cdnmedia on the campaign trail. Poilievre's staffers pushing reporters around. Denying access. Not allowing questions. #cdnpoli

It is my humble opinion that if you don't want your boss to be compared to Donald Trump, you shouldn't be doing your best impression of Donald Trump's press secretary.

Carleton.
You’re not “stuck” with an MP who cares more about power than his neighbours.

Or passing a security clearance check.

Time to retire Poilievre.
Vote @brucefanjoy.bsky.social for Carleton.

As Pierre Poilievre lectures Canadians on ethics, it’s useful to recall:

❌He violated the Canada Elections Act

❌He was in charge of the “Robocalls”scandal

❌He’s the only party leader without security clearance

❌He promoted crypto investment while holding personal Bitcoin

Canada won’t be bullied.

Trump’s tariffs are illegal, irrational, ill-considered and will hurt both countries.

We won’t stand by idly as he takes a wrecking ball to a century of partnership & free-trade.

Canada will respond & retaliate, Canadians will stand together, and we will win. #TeamCanada🇨🇦

The Hogue report suggests Canada is doing a reasonable job of resisting foreign interference. The same can't be said for our own politicians.

This is really good…have you had this convo with someone?
It can be frustrating as their circular logic always comes back to their very basic/inexistent knowledge of economics.

Canada needs a leader with the experience & expertise to guide our country through these challenges with a solid plan & the confidence to execute it.

That’s why I’m endorsing Mark Carney to be the next leader of the Liberal Party & Prime Minister of Canada. Join us!

No, I’m not running for leader.

But here are some thoughts on the Prime Minister’s announcement, what prorogation means, and the opportunity for renewal and a campaign of ideas.
